Gretchen Whitmer first told the Advance last year that her Fiscal Year 2024 budget plan included $160 million for free school breakfast and lunch for all 1.4 million K-12 students. (Abortion is legal in all of these states, by the way).

Meanwhile, nine states have now made the humane decision to pay for free breakfast and lunch for students: California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico and Vermont. You’re never too young to sing for your supper. GOP attacks on free school lunches are sadly nothing new, with a Georgia congressman declaring back in 2013, “Why don’t you have the kids pay a dime, pay a nickel to instill in them that there is, in fact, no such thing as a free lunch? Or maybe sweep the floor of the cafeteria?” So much for the theory that conservatives would rush to pass pro-family legislation to show that their pro-life stance truly is about concern for children. Pillen also signed a law last year banning abortion after 12 weeks, following the trend of many red states after the U.S. “In the end, I fundamentally believe that we solve the problem, and I don’t believe in welfare,” he said. Jim Pillen told the Lincoln Journal Star that the funds aren’t necessary because kids’ needs will be taken care of at church camps, schools and 4-H over the summer.

However, kids who happen to live in 15 states with GOP governors - Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming - are out of luck. territories will now benefit from the permanent food assistance. Low-income families will receive $40 each month for each eligible school-aged child, up to $120, to buy groceries using electronic benefit transfer (EBT) debit cards.Ībout 21 million children - roughly 70% of those eligible for government meal programs - from 35 states, including Michigan four tribes and all U.S.

Department of Agriculture announced what should have been a non-controversial program authorized by Congress to ensure kids in need have enough to eat over the summer when they don’t have access to free and reduced lunch at school. Letting kids starve is a pretty morally indefensible position, but some Republican leaders have apparently decided it’s good politics.
